    Thanks for the info. I don't eat any of these, but it is good to know, how bad they are for you.

    hmmm...wonder why pretzels and granola are on there. I get the sodium for the pretzels...we all know that...but I still don't think they are that bad! And, granola bars....hmm...thought they had some benefit. Geez....just when ya think you know stuff. LOL

    The deal with pretzels is the carbs and the sodium. Sometimes even sugar is added. But it's mostly the carbs (not the good kind) and the sodium.
    I do NOT have a detox book but I have a Cook This, Not That obsession and I have read in several spots that pretzels are not as good as people think they are. When I started subbing my pretzel snacks for plain nuts, I could eat more and I was full longer (and I also started losing more weight)

    Granola bars? pretzels? fat free cookies? Obviously I've been fooling myself. I need an "Idiot's Guide to Rationalizing Foods That Are Bad For You!" ...... Let me know where I can pick that up......

    1. french fries - pretty much cut them out months ago except very rare occasions
    2. donuts - haven't touhed one in MONTHS
    3. potato and corn chips - never been a chips person at all luckily
    4. soda pop - a diet soda once in a while but have cut out regular soda for a while
    5. snack cakes - nope none here
    6. candy and granola bars - only keep a couple pieces of chocolate in the house otherwise nada
    7. fast-food burgers - nope, if I gotta do fast food it's chicken or salads
    8. fat-free cookies - no cookies :(
    9. bagels - I do eat bagels in the morning... oops.
    10. pretzels - not a pretzel person

    Hey now, I guess 1 out of 10 isn't bad!

    I had this bookmarked for an article I was writing awhile back: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22027686/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/ It's an awesome, eye opening read.

    pretzels is because of the refined flour and sodium, granola bars have high frutose corn syrup. it seems they put that stuff in so many things, it is just another word for sugar.
